| Name | Kristen Y |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It just really caught my off guard with the intensity of this streak. I have seen fireballs before but not of this magnitude, except during known meteor shower events where we went out specifically to see them. I'm in city with tons of light pollution and it was still so so bright. I wondered if something fell out of orit the way it came so quickly. Looked like a different pattern than a normal shooting star. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I was at my computer with the window open, I saw a white hot bright flash and then it streaked across the sky, leaving a huge trail. It wasn't even that dark out so it really caught my attention, since the moon and stars weren't out at all yet. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I saw a fragment chunk fall off the bottom, like a piece just dropped to the bottom left. My brain thought it was a satellite at first until I realized it was a falling star/meteoroid |
